  Background: Diabetes mellitus predisposes to ischemic stroke, a major cause of death in this population, and worsens the post-stroke prognosis. Monitoring glycemic control is useful not only in the primary prevention of stroke in diabetics, but also in the rehabilitation from and secondary prevention of stroke. In an often functionally and neurocognitively impaired population, however, poor compliance to treatment regimens is a major problem. Digital, wireless telemonitoring glucometers offer a solution to the compliance issue—not only do they give patients a dynamic experience of their own glycemic control via digital monitors, but many also have an integrated alert system with healthcare providers and more real-time feedback than traditional self-monitoring methods. Objective: To evaluate effectiveness of telemonitoring technologies in .. Read More»
